“Why do you need a shiny truck unless you’re trying to get the girl to hop in it?” he asked CMT Hot 20 Countdown
. “There’s no reason you’re heating up the bonfire unless you’re trying to get her heated up. It’s cool, it’s just a fun song.”

“I’m glad that people are digging it,” he told CMT. “I’m glad that people understand what we’re talking about. It’s a song about a girl, it’s sexy, it’s rebellious, it’s playful and timeless all in one. I think that’s what we’re doing with the music video.”

“Song About a Girl” marks Paslay’s second time making a video, and he says the project’s concept took on both a literal and historical feel.

“Every song, every piece of history through time has been about a girl,” he explained. “From Cleopatra to Marilyn Monroe to even Lady Liberty, it’s always been about a girl, and I think we’re doing a great job of really capturing that in this video.

“All the girls that are in it are great friends, so it’s cool. It will be a cool video and good piece of history of our lives that we’re living right now.”
